Washington
(People's Daily) - Kristalina Georgieva, the managing director
of the International Monetary Fund, said on Twitter, “Our deep sympathies to
all those affected by the serious situation related to Coronavirus. We support
China’s efforts to respond, including recent fiscal, monetary, and financial
actions. We are confident that China’s economy remains resilient.”

At
a recent roundtable news conference at the IMF's headquarters in Washington DC,
Georgieva also said the IMF was closely monitoring the situation and would
assess its economic impact in a few weeks. While the outbreak may have an
impact on China's economy in the short term, she believes the government has
ample policy space to stabilize growth. She argues that the benefits of economic
globalization cannot be negated by the risk of pandemic disease. She noted that
the benefits of global economic integration in boosting economic growth and
improving people's lives still far outweigh the negative effects.
Georgieva
said the world could build more early warning systems, take more preventive
measures and take early action to control pandemics, while giving high priority
to development issues and strengthening the resilience of national economies.
